Our Mission
The Lompoc Museum is a cultural history museum. Our primary mission is to educate the public on the history of the Lompoc Valley and Santa Barbara County through permanent and rotating exhibits and public programs.
Our Funds
The Lompoc Museum is primarily funded through grants, memberships, and donations. An annual grant from the City of Lompoc supports the care and display of the Clarence Ruth Collection. Other daily operations are funded through memberships and small donations. Special projects are dependent on foundation grants and large donations.
Our Future
The Lompoc Museum will soon be celebrating the 100 year anniversary of the 1911 dedication of the historic former Carnegie Library Building in which the Lompoc Museum is housed. In anticipation of this event, we are developing a multi-year plan to update our approximately 3,000 sq ft of exhibit space. We are seeking professional exhibit designers and the donations, foundation grants, and corporate sponsors that will fund this project. Call Dr. Renken at 805-736-3888 if you can help.
